You will need to build three a-frame sides as shown in the photo. Each side will have two legs and an a-frame top, middle and bottom rail. Drill 2 1/2'' pocket holes into the rails. For the top rail drill them into the 1 1/2'' top (short side), the middle rail on the 2 1/2'' sides, and the bottom on the 1 1/2'' bottom (long side). Use wood glue and clamps to secure your sides as you drill. For tighter areas, you may need to use a shorter drill bit to get started (bottom).
Build the top frame as shown by attaching the rails to the stiles with 3/4'' pocket holes and 1 1/4'' pocket hole screws and wood glue. Always clamp your joints to keep them secure when adding your screws to avoid the wood shifting.
Attach the last A-frame side with the back bottom support board using 2 1/2'' pocket holes and 2 1/2'' pocket hole screws as shown.
